Some people end up having iron infusions when their levels are low, either once or on a regular basis; I've read a lot of reports of people feeling much better afterwards.

I've also heard of people switching types of iron pills to one that absorbs differently. There are several types, both pills and patches.

Hopefully your doctor can get on top of it soon!
